Understanding the country-state-city-place block on the USC Shoah Foundation Reports #poland #russia

Brian Stevens
 

In the USC Shoah Foundation survivor interviews in the section for the country-state-city-place they list the following: Russia Glowaczow (Kielce, Poland).  What does this mean?  Are they from Kielce Poland?  What is Russia Glowaczow?
